    Yes, if Mikkelsen would use the WRC car to test the Pirelli tyres, that would use their allowed testing days. And conversely, the R5 testing isn't limited (except for a couple of weeks in the country where the next event is run in)

    Anyway, would you consider possible that Pirelli would supply the tyres for Hyundai WRC team in 2020? The control tyre rule is coming in 2021, maybe they want to compete with Michelin for that role?

    Or is this testing for an effort to take part in the WRC2 championship, to be maybe sponsored by Pirelli?

    Pirelli has released new soft and super soft compounds for R5 cars in the last two gravel rounds. Maybe another new tyre for tarmac ?

    I think the plan is to use it this season, if it worked.

    There is still no change to homologations list (since 2/8). Watch it before the rally as it usually is published a few days before the rally. (I guess it needs to be updated before scrutineering). That said even if there are changes it doesn't mean team will use them. Before Finland Citroen homologated engine changes but first used them in Germany.

    Citroen used all jokers for 2019 already before rally Finland, so no new aero until 2020. according to Budar interview..

    Does this prohibit new aero too?
    I’m not arguing, but this WRC article indicates they were testing it with a view to using it in Spain:

    Given the timing it looks like they want to try the new aero on fast gravel before deciding to homologate it and want to make it in time for Spain.
